Administrator Lite Posted August 10, 2008 Administrator Share Posted August 10, 2008 Mozilla has unveiled a spectacular new concept browser, dubbed Aurora. The bleeding-edge browser is part of a new Mozilla Labs initiative, in which the open-source foundation is encouraging people to contribute ideas and designs for the browser of the future. The demonstration video of the Aurora browser, created by design firm Adaptive Path, shows a highly advanced way of collaborating data gathered on the web. Data gathered from the web - such as weather reports - are collated as 'objects' that can be dragged and dropped on to the desktop and dynamically manipulated. The video shows two people working in different offices comparing rain reports. In the demonstration Alan invites Jill to join him on a weather report page, where they each highlight important bits of the page for each other.The video then shows Jill entering a 3D visual bookmarking system in which related pages are grouped by cells, modelled after cells in the human body. Recently opened pages appear closer to the screen, and gradually fall back the longer they're ignored. The author searches through sports, entertainment and weather cells, as well as those of her contacts, before pulling up the page she wants and dragging it onto the existing page, where it automatically overlaps comparing the two data sets.Potentially the most interesting thing about the video is how integrated everything appears, with desktop tasks and an instant messaging utility all linked directly into the browser interface.

manpe Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I doubt that when they get to developing it, that it will be like that. They want to use people's ideas and I think nobody will like its complicacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marik Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I think the GUI looks nice, don't like that bubble's layout yet, they should change it's color. Anyways i hope they will improve the GUI over the next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
